What is the phenotype of a mouse that has the genotype Bb where capital B is the gene for black fur and b is the gene for brown fur, assuming the gene follows a Mendelian inheritance pattern?(1 point)

Responses

fur with both black and brown hairs

fur with yellow hairs
fur with yellow hairs
fur with brown hairs
fur with brown hairs
fur with black hairs

Answer 1

The phenotype of a mouse with the genotype Bb, where capital B corresponds to black fur and lowercase b corresponds to brown fur, would be fur with black hairs. Since black is dominant over brown in this Mendelian inheritance pattern, the presence of at least one dominant allele (B) results in the expression of the black fur phenotype.

So, the correct answer is: fur with black hairs.
